Influence of anatomical factors on the efficacy of treating femoral pseudoaneurysms with ultrasound-guided compression technique: A prospective cohort study.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFemoral pseudoaneursysm treatment is still controversial.
aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomic features related to femoral pseudoaneurysm (FPA) closure failure for ultrasound-guided compression (USGC).
methodsThis was a single-center, prospective, cohort study. FPA patients admitted to the radiology department for USGC were included in the study. Age, sex, duration of FPA, thrombosis, ratio of thrombosis to FPA diameter, feeding artery, tortiosity, connection properties, length and width of the neck, volume, and fistula-to-common femoral artery (CFA) speed ratio were reported during color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) scanning.
resultsThe study was completed with 192 patients. FPA compression therapy was successful in 155 patients and failed in 37 patients. FPA without a narrow connection (p < 0.001), FPA without existing thrombosis (p < 0.001), a lower thrombosis ratio (p < 0.001), a longer duration of FPA (p = 0.035), a shorter neck length, a wider neck width (p < 0.001), and a higher fistula-to-CFA speed rate (p < 0.001) were related to FPA closure failure with USGC. ROC analysis of the fistula-to-CFA speed ratio showed that a ratio of 1.01 had 47% sensitivity and 63% specificity for USGC treatment failure (AUC, 0.72; p < 0.05).
conclusionsFailure of FPA closure with USGC is closely related to anatomic features of FPA. Evaluating the anatomical features of FPA before deciding the treatment method can be beneficial for patients and clinicians.
